I am guessing the theme of this upcoming tour will be Better Man related , I liked the intro for the Hyde Park gig, it was very cool with a great build-up which was very exciting so hopefully the Robbie/Kim team will bring something great for the fans. Will we see recreations of some of the scenes from the movie in the stage graphics & how will his song selection fit into the show . Ayda posted a video on her instagram from London last night , you could see Big Ben in the background. I take it the rehearsals have begun for the tour . It's all very exciting š

Robbie Williams: PODCASTS, Publications and Interviews
His funniest piece is a painting of a portaloo, with the caption: āPortaloo, couldnāt escape if I wanted to, Portaloo, knowing my fate is to be with you.ā š¤£ Yes, It's a really good interview. You are right about Robbie being a good Ambassador for mental health , from what I have seen his drawings are very relatable, thought provoking & make you laugh . I have often seen people in museums sitting on seats looking at for example a circle on the wall & I am thinking 'what are they seeing' cause all I see is a circle , it does not speak to me . Imagine having your work shown in the same gallery as Andy Warhol, Banksy or hanging out with David Hockney in LA !

Robbie Williams: Social Media
robbiewilliams Hail Keanu āāAlert the media, Iām fineāāā Bleugh, bleugh, bluegh. An in-between day for me. Bridging the gap between excitement / stress / expectancy. Nothing to do. My biggest luxury. Iām not working. Iām just waiting. Waiting to work. Waiting for meetings to happen. Waiting to sing. Waiting for rehearsals. Waiting to be needed in a popstar capacity. Thatās how my life goes. Nothing, nothing, nothing... then f***ING EVERYTHING... MORE f***ING EVERYTHING... OH SHIT... TOOOOOOO MUCH... and then... Nothing again. Yes, my biggest luxury is Nothing. Thatās when I draw. Thatās when I think up ideas bigger than I ever thought possible for me when I was 12, 13, 19, 27, 28, 29, 30... Thatās when I call my management and say things like: āHey can we trademark āSoftcore Enlightenment,ā download my subconscious and make it a streaming platform?ā Thatās when I make plans to only eat steak and eggs every day until the tour. Tour starts on May 31st. I just had a chicken tikka masala, a Coke Zero, then a Twix, a Kit Kat, and some balsamic crisps. Garlic naan. Thatās when I Google BeyoncĆ©ās ticket sales and see how Iām doing. Pretty well, adjusting for aging inflation. (Me, not her.) Thatās when I think of painting Gandhi in a Millwall shirt. Or a unicorn on a mobility scooter. Thatās when I become puzzled about some random personās success and realise Iām envious. Thatās when I think about how much I believed everyone hated me. Thatās when I wonder if they still do. Thatās when I see a photo of my wife and realise how deeply I love her ā (even if I just annoyed her on the phone). Thatās when I mull over the question: āTo wig or not?ā On that ā I spoke to a well-known person who put me in touch with an epic wig maker. He said: āDonāt worry, sheās very discreet. She wonāt tell a soul.ā I said: āIām not worried ā Iāll tell the world.ā (Which is what I do most days on Instagram anyway) And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what the inside of a popstarās buffering screen looks like. If you need me, Iāll be in the nothing. Drawing unicorns. Waiting for everything. Again. Question - if you could be militantly honest at a social event, what would you say? Namaste FFS.

Robbie Williams: Artwork
Robbie Williams' willingness to lay himself bare makes his art collection a fascinating insight into a life in the spotlightNews By Georgia Coggan published 20 hours ago The success is in the storytelling. (Image credit: Moco Museum) Robbie Williams is an artist now, in case you missed it. His latest collection ā Radical Honesty ā launched on Thursday, and I went along to the event to see how one of the most iconic pop acts of the last 30 years has made the transition into a very different type of art. The answer is: successfully, but it's the fusion of celebrity, culture and Robbie himself that enables his art to flourish. By this I mean that Robbie firmly puts himself at the centre of his art ā and that is what makes it fascinating to anyone invested in either his own struggle and story, or those interested in the impact of the very specific culture of pop stardom that has encompassed the last era of music. Recent documentaries have focused on the journeys of boybands (Louis Theroux's Mindhouse Productions produced Boybands Forever, an exposing look at the deep trauma and impact of this type of fame ā and indeed Louis was at the launch of the Radical Honesty collection), so Robbie's venture into art that portrays the emotional journey that results from this has come at a timely moment. (Image credit: Future) Robbie's art is mixed media, influenced by bold styles including pop art and street, and retains the cheeky personality of the artist himself. It is as much designed to entertain as to provoke serious contemplation, even though it deals with some pretty heavy issues around mental health ā and how Robbie views the darkest parts of himself. Words like "narcissistic, anxious and paranoid" appear, set alongside funny one-liners. It's a collection that shows the complexities of Robbie's character ā the showman against the rawness of his inner self. At the heart of the artwork is storytelling. It's another way for Robbie to tell the story of fame, self and struggle ā one without the constraints of melody, lyricism and public perception of a long career built in one medium. It's not fine art, but that's not the point ā reflection on popular culture doesn't call for it, and what Robbie has created is a fitting medium for messaging around the effect of fame in a tabloid era. It's splashy and tactile whilst being touching. (Image credit: Future) The concept is key with this collection, and Robbie's (dare I say) simple, relatable, approachable and personality-filled expression of these concepts is fitting with the 'on to the next' period of pop culture he has embodied. There's something charming about the format, and a feeling you're getting straight to the point ā or the heart ā of the man but without navel-gazing introspection. However, Robbie quipped about commercialising the art in the pre-show speech, citing his "aspirationally-priced prints" (a sentiment repeated in this recent interview in The Times, if you missed it). This is telling ā Robbie seems willing to admit that despite all of the soul-searching and authentic storytelling, this is also an extension of his brand that is ripe for making money. Does this mean it is brand-meets-art in all senses? From Robbie's story and career being at the centre of the intrigue, and the commercial opportunities it may present. Or is this a way of a self-declared "insecure" man making light of a new venture he is braced for criticism over? Either way, Robbie's ability to put his whole self out there is bold and brave, and I very much enjoyed it. Robbie Williams on success, cocaine, trauma ā and finally growing up

Better Man ⢠Robbie Williams Biopic (2024)
To read full article clock on link below ! I also see more experimental and contemporary takes like Robbie Williamsā Better Man. Marketing, sure. But gone are the days of the celebrity book tour. Itās all about the biopic now. But I donāt think this will last. Critical and audience reactions have been rather dull. Better Man wasnāt a bad movie but it tanked at the box office, and neither Amy or One Love received the attention their subjects warrant. Meanwhile, a movie like Sinners ā an original story not based on an icon ā is thriving. Biopic fatigue may be setting in quicker than anyone expected. As with the superhero genre, the answer is obvious: be original. Please, Enough With the Lazy Hollywood Biopics

Robbie Williams: Artwork
āThey Say Celebrities Shouldnāt Do Thisā: Robbie Williams Keeps It Real At Moco Museum London Radical Honesty Art Exhibition OpeningI visited The Robsterās new art exhibit at the glitzy Moco Museum in Marble Arch ā and discovered a newfound admiration for the singer-songwriterās self-reflective, no-nonsense humour. And the art is pretty good, too. Dec Bowring - Staff Writer ⢠2 May, 2025 SHARE THE ARTICLE Robbie Williams - Radical Honesty - for Moco Museum I grew up watching Robbie on tele, and hearing him on every radio station. So to be in Marble Arch on a Thursday night, surrounded by the man himself, his art, and a lot of admirers, I have no regrets. The new Moco Museum exhibit, Radical Honesty, is open for a limited date run. My sensibilities make me a stickler for complimenting art; yet this was right up my street. At First Glance: The Art Speaks For ItselfStyled in various silhouettes with comedic quotes and taglines, itās notable how most of the artwork doesnāt directly show an illustrated face, as though people, figures from his past ā where much of the work evokes its inspiration ā arenāt the centre of attention. Instead, it seems, they appear as merely blurred memories. Some works are his inner monologue, which comedically addresses social events, cutting directly, deliciously, through the falsities that fame has swung his way. Radical Honesty is about no nonsense at all times: āI didnāt want to come and now I donāt want to be hereā read one illustration. Heās cheekily captured what we think during seminal times of our lives: work meetings; dinner with the in-laws; on dud dates. Robbie does a scintillating job of mocking himself. Both in his public image, with out-and-out debauchery, and privately, with one work depicting his microwave talking to him (and how heād take its advice over his therapist). Intelligently, this is the work of a man who went to the brink, came back, re-centred himself, and ā just like those innately funny souls whoāve been through it ā can look back and laugh. He perfectly treads a tightrope between getting a deep, dark point across, but making it vividly amusing. Robbie Williams X Moco Museum The Monkey: Overcoming The PastThereās no elephant ā or monkeyā in the room. With the monkey being his personified metaphor of cocaine struggles, his art grabbed hold of the narratives ā both what the press pushed, and what he chose to chronicle in his solo music; thereās nothing off-limits. A more poignant piece comes in the form of a gigantic hoodie with many pockets on its front; each listing a drug or medication the performer used or abused in the past. He less alludes and more blows-up past delusions, dark inner thoughts, and social nervousness. Yet, itās entertaining, as is his way. Contrasting art where he depicted gatherings as beige or faceless, his own self-reflections, instead, are where heās drawn a clearer visual of himself ā evidently, the outlines of the man he remembers amidst it all. Heāll then veer sharply and personify his social anxiety (sheās called Blanche). Incredibly, the art reads just as Robbie would speak; a droll, down-to-earth, cheeky bloke. Itās sweary, slightly unwell, and (at times) downright hilarious. I move on around the exhibition, taking in illustrations of pill bottles. Next to them, squiggly writing says: āthat feeling when you know you should be crying. But you canāt because of the medsā. These coincidentally sobering pieces point to lower times in his life, only to be lifted with charmingly daft witticisms: āyes, you are self-centred; but what a marvellous self to be centred onā. Back to his almost comedic work depicting his social struggles, notably in an industry where schmoozing is currency, another poignant work was a depiction of his reflection practising conversation topics that āwonāt sound insaneā: āsmelt anything cool lately?ā comes his response. Even more bonkers was the social introvert chair, acting like an artsy bubble where the occupier may sit undisturbed, peacefully; it was used as a prop by influencers for boomerangs. Robbie Williams x Moco Museum: Marc Roses The Man HimselfOn the big night, Robbie is unwaveringly generous. At first, he greets the room with a short speech punctuated with satire, pastiche, and irony; thereās ironic references to his greatness and career achievements (āwhy should a pop star with the most-won Brit awards make art, as the tabloids wouldāve saidā¦ā), pastiche of his own career (āwhy would I make art, then mention night two of my arena tour still has tickets available?ā with a glistening side-eye) ā but this is no plea for modesty nor a plug; the man has reclaimed the story for himself, and off the back of his recent film Better Man, the art tonight is a part of that recovery. Just like the artwork on show tonight, Robbie quietly proclaims the victory of stripping away the facade, and overexposing what it is to be human. A doting crowd swarms the man from start to finish ā friends, industry figures, art aficionados, me. Yet, for the entire two hour exhibition, heās unfailingly gracious, chatty, and warm. I notice he gives people his full, undivided attention ā everyone gets a word in with the main man as he moves around. And, dare I say, the man sparkles with the panache of the 20-something mischievous party boy who caused a media ruckus for over a decade, but with the softening of a less complicated person who found inner peace.

Really nice story ā¤ļø Brad Kella 'living the dream' performing alongside Gary Barlow after growing up in careTuesday 29 April 2025 at 2:22pm Joshua Stokes Isle of Man Reporter Brad Kella says playing piano with Gary Barlow on the opening night of his tour was "possibly one of the best nights of my life". The 23-year-old from Bootle is supporting the Take That frontman on his 'Songbook Tour', travelling around the UK and Ireland. Brad originally found fame after appearing on the second series of the Channel 4 show 'The Piano'. He wowed the judges after auditioning in Liverpool's Lime Street Station, before winning the show at the final concert in Manchester. Since winning the show, he has performed in some of the biggest venues, including the Royal Albert Hall. However, it was in his early life where Brad really honed his talent, after growing up in care in Liverpool. Brad pictured with his brother Aron, and his foster parents Eve and Frank.Credit: Family Photo Brad said: "I want to be a big massive role model for kids in foster care. Every twenty minutes a child goes into foster care in our country and there's 7,000 homes needed to guide those children into a better future. "If I did not go into foster care, I would have either been selling drugs or would have been in jail, or even worse I would have been in such a dark place." Brad dedicates his success to his foster parents Eve and Frank, who raised him and his twin brother from the age of seven. He said: "I was so blessed to get amazing foster parents that gave me the opportunity to believe in everything. I always say if it weren't for the care system, I would not be the man I am today." Brad Kella performed 'A Million Love Songs' on stage alongside Gary Barlow in the Isle of Man.Credit: Instagram - @bradkella, Brad performed a collection of his own music at the beginning of the show, before joining Gary on stage to play one of his biggest hits. "Being able to play 'A Million Love Songs' to Gary Barlow live on stage for the first time was a moment I will never ever forget", Brad said. "I just feel so blessed, it doesn't actually seem real at the moment." Brad cannot read music, and never had a piano lesson until appearing on the Channel 4 show. He said: "I locked myself away and played for hours and hours and hours, until eventually I got a better piano, and that's when I feel my life really started". Brad caught up with ITV Granada Reports in the Villa Marina after launching the tour on the Isle of Man.Credit: ITV Granada Reports Gary Barlow kicked off his tour in the Isle of Man on 17 April, selling out two nights at the Villa Marina in Douglas. This was Brad's first time on the island, which he described as "one of the most gorgeous places he's ever been to". He said: "I've took a good amount of walks already round the island, and it's surprised me so much how much history and stuff is going on around here. "I feel really privileged to be over here". Brad is preparing to release his debut album 'Phoebe's Melody' on 6 June, with his single 'Levels' coming out on 29 April. The 'Songbook Tour' will visit Liverpool, Blackpool, and Manchester, before ending in Thetford Forest Park on 21 June later this year.
